Am I the only one who sees a burner on a gas stove when I look at the radial pattern of gases in the beautiful blue ring of WR 134? To me, there's nothing else this could be! The only thing I need to do now is to reshoot this target under dark skies, so the entire burner can be more easily seen. It's dim, and was more difficult to capture than I expected it to be. The little tongues of burning propane are tough to see (though a bit easier to see in a starless version). I used the L-eXtreme filter to bring out the nebulosity as much as I could from my Bortle-mediocre yard, and combined it with unfiltered RGB data for better stars. It's not the best shot out there of this region, but I'm happy with the result.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
